Woody

Cypress smells like walking through a Mediterranean forest on a crisp autumn morning. It's dry and slightly resinous, reminiscent of pencil shavings and cedarwood, but with a distinctly herbaceous, almost minty freshness that catches the back of your nose. There's an underlying earthiness—the smell of weathered wood and dry leaves—mixed with a subtle piney sweetness. It's not heavy or oppressive; rather, it's clean and grounding, with a whisper of incense-like smokiness that feels both ancient and somehow austere.

Citrus

Grapefruit smells like biting into a freshly halved citrus fruit—sharp, juicy, and slightly bitter. Imagine the zesty spray that hits your face when you peel one, mixed with a subtle floral undertone and a touch of mineral freshness. It's brighter and more assertive than lemon, with a woody dryness lurking beneath the initial burst. There's an almost soapy, clean quality that makes it feel modern and energising rather than purely fruity.
